When i use the term ' boot' i simply mean, probably naively, to see the firewire on my desktop on startup.There was no lead up to this problem except my mac and my ext hardrive, genesys 40gig were no longer talking. I tell you synthetic it's like a rock band in there. Thanks
lol... a rock band in your computer
oh... I see what you mean... you actually just want it to mount on your desktop. As mentioed above... you should have some type of software that came with the drive that has a little app that should be able to mount your drive for you if it doesn't come up automatically. If that app has trouble finding and mounting your HD... you have a bad HD on your hands and might not be usable. Try also reinstalling any drivers related to the HD and see if that helps. I hate to think you lost all your work.
I just lost my internal drive on my G3... wasn't really that long ago... maybe a year or 2 that I bought it. It started acting very sluggish and tried running Norton on it... Norton had problems scanning it. I then immediately copied all files onto my 30gig firewire drive for backup and was about to format the internal drive when it just quit mounting like yours. It was making some funny sounds (mine was more like an industrial remix sound haha) just before it happened too. So luckily I got data off in time but now I am without music machine until I get new drive
Hopefully your problem is not that serious though
